Ship length in Recognition manual [Nasty Hack]

[deadok]

What:
sh4.exe, fixed to include ship length in addition to mast height (edit: forgot to mention, sh4.exe version = 1.5 )




How:
Small code chunk, which reads value from ship's .cfg file and adds it to "base height" string before actual height (values divided by '/' symbol).
Since it doesn't change any config data it should be compatible with any mod (as long as mod doesn't change .exe file by itself).
Should work in metric system as well ( both values for len/height would be in meters).

What should i do:
Replace original sh4.exe with one in archive (don't need to remind that backup of original .exe is always a good idea, right?)

Optional, but recommended:
Fix position of the string, since it would be longer than before and can be truncated.
It can be done by editing menu_1024_768.ini in /data/menu folder.
should be smth like this

[G25 I37]
Name=Mast Val
Type=1029;Static text
ItemID=0x25070006
ParentID=0x25070000
Pos=429,-22,100,22
Zone= 615 305 100 22 0 1 0x25070007 1 -0.5 0x25070006 0.1 0.5 0 0
Color=0xFE
Font=19
Text=955
TextFlags=0x4

Totally optional:
Fix 'Base Height' string in menu.txt - obviously it should be 'Len/Height' now.
